I was banded today! Everything went well. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I am so excited to be a part of this forum. You all have been so great and informative. I cant wait to see the numbers on the scale decline. On another note ....the anatheseologist asked me why I was having the surgery. I told her to lose weight. she said I dont look like I need it. I guess I lucky to carry my obesity well. I am 5ft. 8inches my starting weight was 263 and my bmi was right at 39.8. Well enough of my rambling have a wonderful wednesday my fellow bandsters.

I can feel your excitement, I remember feeling that way as well. I'm settling in to making wise food choices and I now think every day is the best day of my life. I'm a happy girl!

I'm so excited for you, please keep us updated on your progress. I start my pre-op liquid diet next week. I'm praying my excitement for this surgery helps me make it through that.

I get banded tomorrow. Sounds like we have similar starting points. My starting weight was 258 and I'm about 5'7". When i was just considering the surgery i had a lot of people tell me i wasn't "big enough". Everyone is entitled to an opinion i guess.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
